| Summary |
The basic premise of Fingerbobs was that the characters
would collect things for the story about to be read.
The characters were finger puppets controlled by the
host of the show.
The host of fingerbobs was called Yoffy in the show.
He was played by former Playschool presenter Rick Jones.
He had his own special song describing how the Fingerbobs
were created: "Yoffy lifts a finger, and a mouse
is there - puts his hands together and a seagull takes
the air; Yoffie lifts a finger and a scampi darts about."
Each character had it’s own special song. Gulliver "I
spread my wings”, Scampi "My name is Scampi,
Scampi that's me" and Flash "My name is Flash,
But I don't dash, Who wants to run a race?". Gulliver
the seagull collected pebbles and Flash the tortoise & Fingermouse
collected feathers for a story at the end of the show.
If you weren’t there you’ll never understand
it, but for a generation of kids, this was the business
when it came to top TV. |
